500 Internal Server Error After Magento Installation

Internal Server Errors - don’t they just make your heart sink. You’ve installed Magento step by step, and you think everything has been done perfectly, but unfortunately when you load the site you get a white screen whch gives the classic 500 error. I had this when I attempted to install this on the multiple site installation for Bright Light Media, however the solution is simple.
It’s all down to permissions, as you need to make certain folders in your Magento installation writeable. With your FTP, ensure you make set the following files/folders to either 755 or 777.
/app/
/app/etc
/magento/
/media/
/var/
/index.php
If you action the permission change on the above folders, this should successfully solve the Internal Server Error problem and your website should display OK.

Be aware, after update of magento check the URLS of the site. Sometimes .htaccess is overriden. So you need to back upt it befor any upgrade.
